Ebrachosaurus is an extinct genus of aetosaur.Carroll, R.L. (1988). Vertebrate Paleontology and Evolution. WH Freeman and Company, New York It was named after the town of Ebrach, Germany, near an outcrop of the Blasensandstein Formation where the original fossils have been found. Other Blasensandstein fauna include the temnospondyl Metoposaurus and the phytosaur Francosuchus. The genus has often been considered synonymous with the closely related Stagonolepis.Heckert, A. B., and Lucas, S. G. (2000). Taxonomy, phylogeny, biostratigraphy, biochronology, paleobiogeography, and evolution of the Late Triassic Aetosauria (Archosauria:Crurotarsi). Zentralblatt für Geologie und Paläontologie Teil I 1998 Heft 11-12, p. 1539-1587. The holotype specimen was lost during World War II, so its relationships within Stagonolepididae remain indeterminant.Parker, W. G. (2003).
